Anyone ridden an f4 with the fox instead of the Romic? Any impressions on the ride difference would be helpful.

thanks

Zutroy, it depends on what Fox shock you are talking about. The F4's now all come with Vanilla RC with pro pedal. It feels pretty much like the Romic. I think they just changed because of some of the problems Romic has had.

If you used a regular RC, I would have to speculate that it wouldn't pedal as well but would be smoother on the small stuff.

I just got a DHX for my F4. Haven't ridden it yet. Frame was being held hostage at the polishers for 3 weeks. Just got it back yesterday. Still gotta go in to get clear anodized. Probably be a couple weeks before I get any ride time on it. I'll try to post impressions when I get a few rides on it. My guess is, its gonna be nice.

I have used a F4 with a Fox pro pedal and a Romic. I would say to go with the Fox. Overall it’s a better shock and I felt that it worked better on the F4.

The F4 has got a low BB height and I found that the Romic would sit quite low in is stroke which just made the BB a bit too low. I tried different springs but they just made the ride to stiff.

The Fox shock sat a bit higher in its stroke so I didn’t have that problem.
